now that CO2 has been detected on Europa, here is a video about potential alien life by sciencephile the ai, it's incredibly well done and covers a lot that usually isn't covered. There are a lot more habitable places in our own solar system than one would think

A sketch of the first creature in the Loe (life on Europa) artbook. This odd creature still has no name yet, but is small and has gone through a fenomenon know as centaurism, has It has lifted its front limbs from the ground.

What is your favourite witch and/or star related fact?

Oh god i have to choose

But honestly, i love how the sky looks at night in places with much less light there's so many stars and i like to sit and think about the options of life in out solar system and how intelligent they may be

They are probably not as advanced as us, but maybe there are fish scientists on Europa that are thinking the very same about earth

I'd like to think that

But that's the irl fave fact

My fave starchild fact is that i can open a door to the star room and nom some of my sibling's unused magic energy to restore mine and bring some out for others

They taste like your favorite food :3

Europa !

In a groundbreaking discovery, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has uncovered compelling evidence of carbon dioxide on Europa, one of Jupiter’s icy moons.

the funny thing is I call Ani the last of her clan, but she technically has a brother alive. he's cannibal tho so he was thrown out for purposefully infecting himself with the frenzied flame

he only got the title "eater of kin" after he hunted down where his clan went and found their remains in the Belurat, after Ani was rescued and extracted by their father. his response was to try and hide the parts so they couldn't be defiled further, so he did that by eating them. after that he just got into the habit of eating people he didn't burn to death, rancid rat man

his armor is made of a shed snake skin he found, ram's fur, and hornsent horns. he keeps them as trophies after mauling the shit out of them

Webb Space Telescope Finds Potential Signature of Life on Jupiter's Moon Europa

The moon is completely covered by a layer of ice, up to 15 miles (25k) thick (almost 3 times the height of Mt Everest). But heat welling up from Europa's core has created the perfect environment for a deep, saltwater ocean to flow under the frozen water on its surface.

Europa's ocean may be as much as 100 miles (160k) deep (Earth's deepest ocean is less than 7 miles). This means Europa has more than twice as much liquid water as all the Earth's oceans combined.

Webb's near-infrared spectrometer has just found carbon dioxide (CO2) on Europa. The reason this discovery is kind of a big deal to scientists is because this CO2 appears to be "homegrown" —arising from the depths of the ocean itself (possibly from some marine organisms) and not the result of being delivered to the moon by asteroid impacts.

This discovery increases the chances that Europa's saltwater environment may be habitable, and host to some form of life hidden in the dark depths of its vast, ancient, and mysterious ocean. (sources:LiveScience/EarthSky/NASA)
